While the book is a bit slow in parts, it was still an enjoyable read. I particularly liked the literary quotes at the start of each chapter, especially those from 'What a Young Woman Ought to Know' by Mary Wood Allen. While there are some dark issues underlining this book including sexual abuse, mental illness and murder, the book is also tinged with humour. Emmie is a delightful character who, through Bertha, learns what it means to be a true friend. ( )
